NIGP 91356: Construction, Utility/Underground Projects

NIGP 91356, Construction, Utility/Underground Projects, is an Item code covering underground and utility infrastructure construction work that state and local governments procure regularly—sewer and water main installation and replacement, stormwater drainage improvements, force main rehabilitation, lift station construction, directional drilling, and CIPP lining of existing pipes. Recent solicitations span Florida cities and counties (DeBary, Escambia, Hillsborough, Orange, Volusia, Collier, Plant City), Georgia municipalities and authorities (Tift County, Americus-Sumter, Pike County Water & Sewerage, Brunswick-Glynn Joint Water and Sewer Commission, City of LaGrange, Fort Valley Utility Commission), Texas cities (Lubbock, San Antonio, Carmel Indiana), South Carolina (Dorchester County), Utah (South Jordan), and California transit and utility bodies, indicating nationwide activity with particular concentration in Florida and Georgia. Issuing bodies are primarily municipal departments (public works, utilities, city engineering), county commissions and authorities (water and sewer commissions, transit authorities), and special districts (water authorities, utility commissions). The City of DeBary, Florida and Hillsborough County, Florida appear as repeat buyers in the recent window.

Representative work under the code includes the City of DeBary's Rob Sullivan Park Irrigation Improvements (bid 03-15, due April 10, 2015, $90,000 engineer's estimate) converting existing irrigation to a Hunter system, and DeBary's Small Scale Stormwater Improvement Project No. 4 (bid 06-18, due August 28, 2018, $233,250 estimate) involving reinforced concrete pipe drainage, curb inlets, and manhole structures at three locations. More recent and larger activity includes Hillsborough County's Kirby Street Pump Station #08 Rehabilitation (IFB 26-00404, due November 13, 2026, $1,473,476.90 estimate) constructing a new stormwater pump station with decommissioning of the existing facility; Orange County, Florida's Storm Water Pipe Slip Lining Rehabilitation (Y27-110, due October 20, 2026, estimated five-year cost $39,312,100) using RICIPP lining; and Tift County, Georgia's Water, Street & Drainage Improvements for West Phillipsburg Phase 2 (PE77648NONST2027000000031, due November 17, 2026) encompassing roadway, water main replacement, and drainage infrastructure. Florida, Georgia, and Texas dominate recent posting activity, with additional work in South Carolina, Utah, Indiana, California, and North Carolina. The mix of IFBs, RFPs, and design-bid-build procurements, combined with typical Davis-Bacon compliance, prevailing wage requirements on federally funded projects, and set-asides ranging from zero to 10% SBE participation, reflects the code's maturity and federal funding influence across state and local water and utility infrastructure repair and expansion.
